What are die cutters used for
To cut out paper or card 'nets' or 'developments' which, when folded and assembled, will form a 3D shape such as a box
How do die cutters work
-They use a plywood 'substrate' board in which steel cutting dies and creasing rules are inserted
-The stock material is placed under the board, and a press pushes the board into the stock material, which cuts out the net
What happens at the parts where the net are meant to be folded
The creasing rules score the paper/card. The creasing rules are not as high as the cutting die, ,and they are also blunt so they dont cut the stock material
Laser cutting
-They are a perfect prototype for construction/ small scale production becasue they can be used to cut, engrave and carve
